...in Biochemistry with a minor in math and will be graduating in spring of 2018 from University of New Mexico (UNM). After graduation, I will be moving forward in my education and attending graduate school to focus on biomedical research. I find tutoring high school students very rewarding because I am able to give them the tricks of the trade that I have learned over the years. I know firsthand that school can get overwhelming,...

...algebra, calculus, statistics, or on college entrance exams. My teaching experience began in 2002 when, as an undergraduate student in math, I was asked to help teach business calculus to freshmen. I have been teaching math ever since.
I believe that helping a student see concepts from multiple angles is the key to understanding and eventually mastering any idea. Math is a like a choose-your-own adventure story, and I always aim to equip my students...

Chris
...and science. I have learned how to make a sometimes complex subject into something fun & simple. Since I made the decision to learn the math, I have excelled in the subject ever since. This resulted in my peers and family asking me for help in math & science for over 25 years. During my undergraduate studies, I made A's in all my mathematics courses and was invited to join the Math Honor Society. I...

...constantly changing state of being. I love how mathematics can quantify and explain nature, from the microscopic to the macroscopic world. It truly is the universal language of the universe. My appreciation for math and how it applies to nature is the reason I decided to pursue my education in Astrophysics and Mathematics. I love the sky and the Universe it reflects. Especially growing up in New Mexico, where our sky is one of the...

...the current class, and are therefore trying to learn a new concept while simultaneously trying relearn old concepts that were not understood in the first place. Math, more than any other subject, builds on itself. Students have to have a solid foundation or go back and reinforce weak areas in order to master further concepts. Mastery learning in math is paramount. We have to crawl before we walk and walk before we run.... Education can be given in such a way that virtually everyone can grasp and excel in school, including advanced concepts in mathematics. A weakness of our education system is that often students, whose learning style does not fit the education mold, are forced to fit as a square peg through a round hole. This rigidness and lack of flexibility often creates learners who have apathy or resentment towards math that is unnecessary. In my own practice of teaching and tutoring I have found that often students who were judged to not be able to do complex math could do it with the right tools and guidance. Students who were decent students were also able to perform at a better level as well with improved guidance. The biggest problem in students understanding they often struggle or are weak in the foundational skills of math for that subject or the math subjects leading up to the current class, and are therefore trying to learn a new concept while simultaneously trying to relearn old concepts that were not understood in the first place. Math, more than any other subject, builds on itself. Students have to have a solid foundation or go back and reinforce weak areas in order to master further concepts. Mastery learning in math is paramount. We have to crawl before we walk and walk before we run.
